According to the Post, Dobbs hosted an evening broadcast of his then-CNN program in the midst of the 2008 campaign at Freedom-South Riding High School in Virginia. Unbeknownst to Freedom-South Riding administrators and CNN producers, the school's gymnasium where the show was filmed featured a large logo of the Freedom-South Riding Eagle plastered on one of its walls, a logo which is a near-exact replica of the logo of Georgia Southern University. When a Georgia Southern alum watching at home noticed the logo, he reached out to the school's athletic department, which then began an investigation into the Freedom-South Riding logo.

"I blew them up and put them on top of each other," Georgia Southern associate vice president for legal affairs Lee Davis told the Post. "And no question it was a tracing."

As a result, Freedom-South Riding was forced to pull its traditional Eagles logo from team uniforms and all team gear. It continues to pay $1 per year -- and will do so for the next decade -- to use the logo in its gymnasium and on other large, expensive items that were seen as irreplaceable in the immediate future.

"We did it officially because, God forbid, we do something, some alumni sees something and some attorney sends us a cease-and-desist letter," Jimmy Sanabria, Centreville's athletic director, told the Post.

Yet no school has had the bad luck of Freedom-South Riding, which became a victim of its own national exposure. Given Georgia Southern's significantly lower profile, it's unlikely it would have become aware of Freedom-South Riding's use of Southern's soaring eagle without someone bringing it to the college's attention.
